Some birds are not uncommon in other parts of the country or around our coasts, but may be in Buckinghamshire. If you want to see just how scarce a particular species is then take a look at the Bucks List.

Most of you
accessing this site will be aware of the BTO atlas project to produce a
concurrent winter and breeding atlas over the next 4 years (using 10km x 10km
squares. However what you might not know is that there is also a plan to produce
a detailed Bucks atlas at the tetrad (2km x 2km) level using the same data.

This will then
give us the chance of assessing the species local to Bucks interest and perhaps
answer some of the following imponderables.

Just how many
Buzzards and Ravens are establishing themselves?

How are Corn
Buntings, Partridges and other farmland birds faring in the north and west?
